IDC (ADO) Terminal Blocks

Entrelec® by ABB offers a unique screw-less connection system called the ADO System®. This system is comprised of two complementary pieces: An insulation displacement connection (IDC) terminal block, and a tool that cuts, strips, and inserts the wire into the connector. The benefits of using this system are:

*Time-Saving Installation (80% faster than screw connections)
*Error-Proof Cutting, Stripping and Insertion of Wires
*Vibration-and Corrosion-Proof
*Eliminates Installer Fatigue
*Side Entry of both Solid or Stranded Conductors
*Wire Sizes Ranging from 24 AWG to 12AWG
*Accepts up to Two Identical Wires
*Current Carrying Capacity up to 25 Amps
*Voltage Ratings of up to 600
*Spacing Ranges from 5 to 8 mm
*Many Functions Available
*Complete Line of Accessories and Marking Systems

The ADO System® mounts on industry standard DIN rails. It also offers combination connections of both screw clamp and IDC in one terminal block. In addition to general-purpose IDC terminal blocks, the ADO System® is used in Mini Terminal Blocks (Miniblocks for DIN 2) and the ATEX product line. This system is also used in Railway applications.
